Student Art Sale | Information + Student Registration

SAS Cover

Showcase your talent and sell your creative works!

The Student Art Sale (SAS) is one of the university's most popular events, drawing large crowds of eager shoppers, collectors, and curators over its three-day run. It's a brilliant platform to connect with the public, build your fan base, polish your entrepreneurial skills, and earn some extra cash just in time for the winter break.

This year’s sale takes place Thursday, November 21 through Saturday, November 23, 2024 and we are keen to feature your paintings, photography, prints, ceramics, sculptures, illustrations, design works, homewares, textiles, jewelry, greeting cards, or anything else you've been passionately crafting!

Join us for an info session to learn more and plan to join us for our 51st annual sale!

Registration closes at midnight (12am) on Friday, October 7, 2024.

Registration is now closed. For those who have registered, please check your ECU email on October 15 for next steps.

We are pleased to be working with Student Art Sale Coordinator, Samantha Burnet, — an experienced curator, artist, and Emily Carr alumna (BFA '95). Samantha is currently the Chair of the ECU Alumni Association (ECUAA) and has served on the board for the past 11 years. She is also the curator and coordinator for the ECUAA Gallery Project at the BMO Theatre Centre - Arts Club. Please reach out to her with your questions at - sas@ecuad.ca.

We look forward to working with you!
